Ryanair crashes

Maybe the British budget airline economic model isn’t foolproof after all.

No, it isn’t. And Ryanair’s idea of cutting fairs to recoup its losses is pounding sand down a rathole.

The story points out that, in addition to the selling of advertising space on planes, etc., Ryanair makes money through package deals like rental cars, etc. Nonetheless, relying on cattle-car volume to prop up unprofitable routes doesn’t make sense.
